[solved] Order confirmation mail problems
« on: June 09, 2008, 20:37:01 PM »
I'm using Yahoo hosting and they require that the sender must be from the same domain as the site(for spam purposes) when using PHP mail.   I have sales@MYDOMAIN.com in the "mail from" box.     But when Virtuemart tries to send an order confirmation mail I get this error in my mailerror.log:

 From address not in member domain. Message not sent.

When I use the "PHP Mail Function" option it doesn't work at all but if I choose the "Sendmail" option an attempt is made but I'm getting this error.

Is there any way I can double check that VM is getting the correct "mail from" value from my Joomla settings?  Thank you in advance for any help.

The "from" mail address is taken as being the address entered in Store Configuration, not the Joomla site admin address, so make sure that one is correct.
